The Ungrateful Males...
I finally resumed my dance class today. Though I didn’t feel like going and was contemplating to stop, I’m glad I made it. After class, my teachers had rehearsal for their upcoming performance, and it was simply fabulous. It was a fusion between contemporary and Kathak, and at the end of the class, I was more then convinced to join Kathak for the rest of my stay here in KL.
During the rehearsal, Pin and I were sitting next to one of my teacher who was waiting for his wife (another teacher) who was performing, and I could see that he was constantly looking at his wife. I started teasing him about it but he denied playfully, saying that he was looking at everyone; except it was so obvious that he was gazing at her; with a face filled with pride and admiration (she is such a graceful dancer).
As for me, I’m surprised to see such act, especially that they are married for a couple of years now. Don’t get me wrong, but I only see such acts, especially between Indian couples in movies, not in real life. At least not from the background I come from.
From the place I come from, besides my dad and uncle, no one actually appreciates what their wife does, what more being proud of them. None of them actually take pride for their wife’s delicious food (my aunts are all good in cooking), or realize the way they had helped in bringing up the kids (all my cousins are doing well, very good obedient kids), or even a thanks for taking care of their home. Instead they treat them like some unpaid maids, who needs to wake up early to take care of their kids, home, parents, job and the list just goes on. And at the end of the day, what do these husbands do? They grumble and criticize to their friends how worthless their dull looking wives are. That seriously pisses me off!! I wish I could do something about it but what can I do? Why can’t they at least once appreciate their wives? Why cant they just be proud and admire the way their wives had handle things in their lives? I’m surprised that my aunties are actually tolerating such life. If it was me, I’m sure I would have left my husband since day one!
Well.. I hope the day will never come, because deep inside, I wish to find someone like my teacher :-)
